"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Is your Benzedrine
Uh-huh
I was brain-dead
Locked out
Numb
Not up to speed
I thought I'd pegged you
An idiot's dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
I never understood the frequency
Uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit
Uh-huh

I'd studied your cartoons, radio
Music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said
"Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon
Tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green
Uh-huh
I never understood the frequency
Uh-huh

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Is your Benzedrine
Uh-huh
Butterfly decal
Rear-view mirror
Dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon
Tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green
Uh-huh
I never understood the frequency
Uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit
Uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
Uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You wore a shirt of violent green
Uh-huh
I couldn't understand
I never understood
"Don't fuck with me"
Uh-huh
